EXPERIENCE

In 1999 Andrés started specializing in Industrial Property, Advertising and Competition and began actively cooperating with H&A, finally joining the litigation department in 2004.

He is very experienced in the handling of files before the Spanish Patent and Trade Mark Office in their administrative phase and also in the preparation of opposition briefs, replies to oppositions as well as reconsideration appeals. He also takes care of the contentious-administrative stage of trade mark prosecution, before the Superior Court of Justice, drafting appeal briefs or replies to appeals.

He specialises in invalidity proceedings, trade mark infringement and unfair competition. He is also responsible of advertising matters, advising his clients in this sphere as well as handling complaints to the Jury of the Spanish advertising self-regulation body.

Being responsible of the Community trade mark division in our litigation department, Andrés deals with invalidity and revocation actions before OHIM as well as before the EGC.
